Leeds have a very, very good team. Yeah, we contributed to our own downfall by knocking on every 2 mins, but if those two 40/20's had of come off for Leeds it could of been a different scoreline. They scored off both of them and our heads went down.

A positive would be the response we gave after the half time interval. We came out fired up and matched Leeds. We had 2 try's disallowed, which on another day could of gone for us

Ifs and buts if we had a quality side we may of given them a game, but we've not.
Thought that was all part of the game to try and get 40/20's so you can score off them. 2 tries disallowed because they wasn't tries end of story if they where tries the would of been given and seeing as they wasn't means they weren't legitimate tries.
We were/are a mediocre team and until something is changed from the top down to the playing staff we always will be a nearly but not quite team.

It is ifs and buts but as lothlorian said, we were very unlucky with some calls etc. Leeds got the momentum after the two 40/20's and took us apart, our head's went down and we conceded too many errors on the back of that.

As for getting rid of the playing staff, you are a moron. We have a young squad that can only improve

Not sure i'd agree about the 2nd "no try". Fair enough he was in the way but he doesn't have an obligation to move and i dont feel he purposely put himself there to block the defender. Not that it would have made much impact on the result. You were well an truly outclassed tonight.

Leeds came out and caught us on the back foot imediately with 40-20, we made some silly errors and our forwards couldnt match theirs, which in turn makes it a hard job far our halfes. We did well to come out up for it in the second half and unlucky to have try's disallowed, which would have got us back in it. Hat's off to leeds they were superb, but dont slag off wigan for playing with a bit of passion and trying to put right the mistakes. any team was gonna get mullered at headingly tonight.

We didn't get the ball in Leeds' half until about 30 mins in. You can't score points if you can't keep hold of the ball and make the yards.

Leeds needed to prove a point tonight, with the poor show against Manly and just scrapping home against Wire. They needed to put on a show and they did to a certain extent but I still think the final scoreline flattered them somewhat.

Seconded.

I'm as disappointed with the final scoreline as the next wigan fan. But Leeds ran very hot in the first half and had something like 80% of their possession in our half. Their passes stuck and we couldn't live with the speed of their POB.

We tried our best in spells in the second half but we were always chasing the game - so our composure and ball control wasn't good.

Same old story as we saw many times last year - the big difference is that we were in that position tonight mostly because the opposition were very good in the first half, not because we'd put an average team in the driving seat with our own poor play.

No, that doesn't make me feel any better either

I meant that Leeds' wouldnt of scored that try if the video ref had given us the try

Apologies...so you meant the video ref cost u the try, not the game? Just when u said he'd cost you I thought you meant the game, glad you agree with me.
